940 The Story of the Old Beggar
"How much work we did and how much saliva we had to make them self-reliant, let them sweep the streets without feeling tired, let them knock on sticks at night, he thought it was too sleepy..."
"Yeah, you are only in your forties. You are not sick or disaster-free, and you have hands and feet. You can take you to the factory to work. As a result, you went in in the morning and slipped away in the afternoon. You even left a work clothes... We looked back and looked, guess what? You went to the street and kowtowed and begged..."
"Bah! The money my grandson needs in more than two months is higher than that of the technicians in the iron factory! We don't raise borers like you!"
The beggar on the ground stuck out his butt and rushed into his arms. The two children also collected copper coins together, for fear that the people around him would snatch one away. Fan Ru roughly estimated that the amount of silver was at least 20 silver dollars.
"Good, it's enough to buy a mu of dry land in our hometown... Are you sure this is what he asked for in two months?" Fan Ru asked incredible.
The old platoon leader sneered, "Of course, you should know that the new army in Tanggu is very strict with such people who are not worth it. The beggars' sects everywhere in the Qing Dynasty cannot stay here at all, so these beggars don't have to pay the head of the beggars' sect above, and there are no other beggars here to compete. Do you think they make money or not?"
"It's not difficult for us to do anything about him. Since he never repents, then take the money for the past two months and get out of the special zone. It's certain to expel..."
At this time, Tian Mazi had already picked up the last copper plate. He cherished the dust on his sleeve, then put it back into the bag, and then kowtowed like pounding garlic.
"Master! Jun Ye! Please pity me, right? Let me ask me to have some food here... I will starve to death when I return home..."
The two children also knelt down and cried, "Master, okay, both of them, please stay...Woooooo, don't drive us away!"
Fan Ru felt a little nervous, "You have good hands and feet, and you have arranged a plan for you here, why bother to beg for food?"
"Two masters! OK..." The beggar knew to kowtow and beg without answering directly.
Fan Ru then advised, "Even if you don't want to do it in your life, don't you want these two children to get better in the future? Don't you want them to be honest?"
"Second masters! OK..." Well, that's the same sentence.
Fan Ru was a little angry, "I really don't know how to be polite. I'm born to be a naughty man. I'll be driven away quickly, and I'll be angry when I see it!"
"My two masters! You are okay..." The old beggar didn't say anything, and he said this one after another. Maybe seeing the two old men not moving at all, the old beggar turned his head and pulled his little daughter over, slapped her face and slapped her hard.
"You dead girl, you cry, kowtow to the uncle and beg him to show his compassion... You a devastating star, if you are driven out today, I will beat you to death!"
The two children cried even more miserably. It really made the listener cry, and the listener was sad. There was a rumbling noise around him. He was so angry that he scolded him.
"What! Everyone says that Tanggu is so good, and even a beggar doesn't give you a way out. Is this the famous Prime Minister Xiao of Donghai? Bah..."
"That's right, they're so miserable. What's wrong with giving them a way out? Look at how pitiful that child is..."
Chinese people will never lack the overwhelming love. As long as this kind of love does not have to spend their own interests, they do not mind moral kidnapping on others.
You Xiao Letian is an official, and we are the people. If you are the people, you have to manage the people. Regardless of whether the people are lazy or are morally corrupt, they only have one truth in their minds, "I am mentally retarded and I have reason."
The old platoon leader stood up in anger and shouted, "Shut up! Come on, drag the old beggar out. Since the ruling is to expel it is to expel it. Our special zone does not raise idle people... It is a thing that is ungrateful, and you will eat the food for you and give you work. I want to get something for nothing? We don't raise idle people..."
The soldiers dragged the old beggar out of Xishui Gate. The old beggars turned against each other and wanted to scold them. As a result, the shaking bayonet lit out, scared him to cover his mouth and turn his head and run away. However, after running for more than ten steps, he turned around and spit hard a mouthful of thick phlegm, staring at the soldiers with hatred.
At this moment, another expelled head of the family stood up and walked to the old platoon leader and Fan Ru and kowtowed three times, "Two masters! That old beggar deserves to be lazy and expelled, but the old man couldn't understand. It's not that our family of three doesn't want to work, why was they expelled in the end... I can't overcome this hurdle in my heart!"
The old platoon leader opened the official document and looked at it. Finally, he sighed, "Why are you so unconscious? Your son has been recruited by the big iron factory. He has two silver coins a month as an apprentice. Why don't you cherish it?"
The old man's eyes were red with anger, "I don't cherish it? You said I don't cherish it! I was so happy that I didn't sleep after hearing this good news for three consecutive days. My wife cried for three days... You said I don't cherish it? But you are too bullying. Why do you have to work in an iron factory and have to cut your braids? Is this still reasonable..."
Fan Ru was stunned when she heard this, "Cut your braids? When is this the rule..."
Of course, the rules for cutting braids were newly established last year. What is the most respected job in the SAR? It is definitely not a businessman like Sihai Business, nor is it the second shopkeeper who is good at calculating.
What is truly respected is actually the engineers and the group of apprentices and technical jobs they brought out.
Any country wants to develop rapidly in industry, it needs a very large team of engineers and a larger team of blue-collar workers, and these talents are the most rare in the Qing Dynasty.
Smart businessmen are easy to find, and there are many scholars who are good at learning Western learning, but this kind of blue-collar worker is the rarest because China has not attached great importance to craftsmen for thousands of years, and most of the Chinese craftsmen rely on word of mouth between masters and apprentices, and have not undergone strict natural science knowledge education at all.
In other words, blue-collar workers in Tanggu Special Administrative Region must be trained by Xiao Letian himself. People must find smart young men who can quickly learn basic cultural knowledge, learn mathematics and basic physics, and also be skillful.
Such talents are difficult to find, so the special zone of technicians really put a lot of wealth to support them. Just like the family surnamed Wang, whose son has been accepted by the iron factory, and the iron factory with his parents and his parents has also been solved.
My father knew how to make carpenter skills, so he went to the carpentry team of the iron factory to work. Many wooden barrels and boxes were needed to be made by these people, and his monthly income was one and a half silver coins.
My mother only knows how to cook, so she arranges it in the kitchen. She has half a silver coin to take every month. The so-called half a silver coin is the fresh word "five cents" in people's mouths. Some people call it "five cents".
As for Xiao Wang, that's even more beautiful. When you are an apprentice, you can get two silver dollars a month. When you are upgraded to a junior worker, you can get five silver dollars, and a first-level worker can get eight silver dollars, and a second-level worker or above... that's simply unimaginable.
However, such good treatment is conditional. Xiao Letian personally ordered last year that all key technical jobs must be added to the Ryukyu nationality, and there is an additional condition that is to cut the braids and put their feet on.
